HT's Random Thought Thread Pt. 2 - Speak your mind...

[ArchangelX]

My brain hurts just attempting to do what this title says...

[lois]

why is there a part 2?

[ArchangelX]

Because Part 1 was getting too freakin' huge.

[Act162this]

if 7-11s are open 24/7, 365 days/year, why are there locks on the doors?

if the average human only uses approximately 7% of his/her brain, and Albert Einstien only used 13% of his, does that mean the average human can safely afford to toast the other 87% of their brains?

human memory works by the retrieval of stored information/memories.
information is stored in an orderly, heirarchical fashion in neuronal connections/synapses in the human brain.
therefore, the fewer brain cells we have, the easier it is to categorize them and keep track of them, so the better off we'll be.

the whole thing about using only a small percentage of your brain is a load of crap. you actually use your whole brain. its just at any particular moment, there's only a small percentage of the neurons firing. with different types of tasks, you use different parts of the brain.

but yes, you can afford to toast some brain cells. contrary to previous ideas about a finite number of brain cells, recent research shows that you actually do make new neurons throughout adulthood. just don't kill them off quicker than you can make new ones.

not really known how it categorizes the information, but its all just a matter of strengthened connections due to two events occuring at the same time.
We have ideas about where memories are stored, but its not like your typical filing cabinet.

Did I mention I'm a neurobiologist?

Why do some drivers fail to see that eventho they have a green light to turn, they still need to STOP for people crossing the street?!?!?!

[lois]

conversely^ people who stop when they have the green to make a right, and no pedestrians in sight?

what if they see dead people?

[lois]

that's only after the rear tires run over them the second time.

[MasterFunk]

damn, you must drive a bigger car than mine. light sportscars handle awesome, but you gotta run over someone 3 or 4 times before they quit wiggling.

1. an unsecured loan allows the loaner to attach anything and I mean anything of value of yours to satisfy the loan.

2. while I love sand, it belongs at the beach or mixed in concrete not sitting in a big pile blocking my driveway for who knows how long. the same goes for the stacks of flagstones, both piles I've had to move on my own after days go by and no shows.

3. items damaged, broken or ruined to date:
(2) low voltage electric transformers
entire wiring loop and all low voltage lights that *were* around the property
leaking water pipe
broken water pipe
new ceramic flower pot
8 new round stepping stones
10 new rectangular bricks
Ohai seedling that someone went out of their way to snap it's little trunk right after I planted it (you ****er)
flourescent light bulb (no you idiot, who else broke it? menehunes?)
wind spinner (a gift from a dear friend)
drip irrigation inlet coupling
there's a few more but this is getting ridiculous

4. my brand new garbage can taken but not returned

5. you and your company are now MIA. at this point I'd rather you not come back at all and will have someone else finish the job. wonder why no one in the neighborhood is giving you work? duh.

Airline flights over international waters (like here to the mainland) should allow gambling on board via handheld wireless gaming devices.

These devices would be handed to you free by your request and after showing proper ID. You would deposit real money into your gaming account via credit card. The devices would be collected when the airplane enters US airspace.

The devices run off a central server and you would be able to, for example, sit at a virtual blackjack table with your fellow passengers and play against the house... just like a real casino. Your fellow gamblers would be identified by seat number, so you could stand up and chat with them in real life if you wanted. You could play slots, craps, video poker, whatever... all for real money.

The airline, as the house, makes money off the gaming, so they're able to provide the service for free.

Additionally, when you first log into the system and create your account, you could set up a profile that displays your destinations, intentions, interests, etc. to others aboard the aircraft. You can IM them or meet them in real life.

Someone should create a GPS navigation system for your car that speaks with William Daniels' voice. (He did the voice for KITT in Knight Rider). It should include a display of three rows of red lights, like KITT, that move in response to the system's speaking voice. As an option, you could get the cylon light for the front of your car.

Or it could say "In the Soviet Union...car drives you".
